Ondo eximed. “Cassandra, you’re truly hypocritical. You imed you and Michael were just
friends, so what do
meau now?
“People change,” Cassandra replied, unafraid of any misunderstanding from Ondo.
However her words seemed to have infuriated Ondo further. His grip on her chin tightened, able to
crush it.
you
Cassandra held back her anger, but the coldness in her eyes irritated Ondo even more. He forcefully
threw her onto the bed and pressed her down.
His handsome face darkened significantly, his eyes gleaming with an icy coldness. In a low and hoarse
voice, Ondo murmured. “Cassandra, you are my wife, yet your heart yearns for another man. Do you
truly think I won’t dare to take
action?”
Cassandra shielded her abdomen defensively with both hands, prompting an even more displeased
look on Ondo’s face.
She gently pursed her lips and spoke softly. “Ondo, I’m merely stating the truth. Why such an
exaggerated reaction?”
“Truth? So, are you admitting that you’re in love with Michael?” Ondo sneered, his words filled with
icy scorn.
Cassandra fell silent.
“Answer me, Cassandra. Do you love him?” Ondo asked, his eyes shrouded in chilling
determination.
“If you say so, then so be it. Um… Cassandra began, only to be abruptly silenced as he roughly kissed
her. His kisscked all tenderness, intensifying as if each moment was designed to punish her, to inflict
pain.
Cassandra struggled against his grip, but her resistance only seemed to fuel Ondo’s determination,
making him all the more relentless.
In a matter of a mere half–minute, Cassandra’s entire being was thrown into disarray. She pped his
shoulders fervently, her hand brushing past his face multiple times, yet her actions seemed to make no
difference.
“Ondo, let go of me! Leave!” She nearly screamed, trembling uncontrobly, her words verging on
incoherent.
Cassandra thought, I can’t give in to him. I’m still in the first trimester, and he’s simply acting out of a
desire to punish me. I dare not think about the potential oues.”
However, despite her resistance, Ondo proved overpowering.
“Ondo, you bastard! I hate you!” Cassandra cursed.
She didn’t know how long she had cursed. All she knew was that her voice had turned hoarse,
rendering her unable to form. coherent sybles.
Broburgh’s weather was capricious, and at some point, rain began to pour, apanied by incessant
thunder and lightning. It created a backdrop reminiscent of a nightmare.
After what felt like an eternity, everything finally concluded.
Cassandra felt an aching pain in every inch of her body, the agony most intense in her lower abdomen.
It felt as though she had been torn apart. The pain only kept getting worse.
Summoning all her strength, she struggled out of bed and headed to the bathroom. Standing beneath
the showerhead, she let warm water cascade down from her head.

Chapter 46
A few minutester, as she was about to get dressed, she noticed a vivid, ring flow of bright red
blood streaming down her legs. The intense gush felt like menstruation, startling her immediately.
Her eyes zed over, her mind going nk, and she cried out, “Ondo…”
Upon hearing her cry, Ondo rushed into the bathroom. He pushed the door open and saw
Cassandra falling backward. Swiftly, he caught her in his arms, but she had already lost
consciousness. He called her name repeatedly, but there was no response. His face hardened as he
quickly grabbed a towel, wrapped her in it, and carried her out
“Get the car ready to the hospital… quickly… Ondo urgently instructed.
Racing all the way, they soon arrived at the hospital.
Cassandra was rushed into the emergency room, leaving Ondo standing outside in disarray.
He was still dressed in casual attire, with faint traces of blood on his body, and only worefortable
slippers. It was a stark contrast to his usually handsome and elegant appearance,
Inside the emergency room, Cassandra was connected to oxygen. Gradually regaining consciousness,
she grabbed the doctor’s hand and weakly said, “I need Nellie…
She adamantly sought out Nellie, rejecting any treatment otherwise.
The doctor had no choice but to dispatch the nurse to locate Nellie.
Before long, Nellie entered the emergency room, her eyes widening in shock at the sight of Cassandra.
Cassandra seized her hand and pleaded. “Nellie, help me. You must protect the baby for me. Promise
me…”
“Don’t worry. Trust the doctor. Everything will be all right. You need to stay calm and cooperate fully,
okay?” Nellie reassured Cassandra, holding her hand. After calming her down, she quickly updated the
emergency doctor about the situation. She then instructed him to keep the pregnancy confidential,
revealing it to no one but the patient.
Once all arrangements were in ce, Nellie exited the emergency room. She recognized Ondo, and
likewise, he knew her.
Seeing Nellie, Ondo immediately inquired, “How is Cassandra?”
Nellie calmly replied. “The situation is not optimistic, Mr. Quinn. If you can’t love her, just let her go and
end this marriage, okay?”
Ondo’s expression turned cold, offering no response. Nellie merely nced at him before leaving.
When Cassandra regained consciousness, she found herself back in the ward. The scent of
disinfectant filled the air, and she gazed at the white ceiling. Gradually collecting her thoughts, she
instinctively reached for her abdomen, intending to sit up.
“What are you doing? The doctor said you need to rest. Don’t move. Lie down, okay?” Ondo stood
beside the bed, cing one hand on her shoulder to stop her from rising.
“I need to see the doctor,” Cassandra insisted, emotion welling deep within her.
“The doctor said you’re fine. You need proper rest now,” Ondo said, assuming she was concerned
about her well–being.
However, Cassandra was not receptive and persisted in requesting to see the doctor. “Get out of my
way. I want to see the doctor, she dered, pushing Ondo aside and refusing his attempts to touch
her.
Seeing her stubbornness, his expression turned steely, his eyes holding a cold indifference. In the end,
without a word, he
called for the doctor.

Chapter 46
Cassandra appeared solemn and on the verge of asking about the baby, but in the presence of
Ondo, she suppressed the urgent questions in her heart and calmly inquired, “Doctor, am 1 okay?”
“You’re fine. Don’t worry. Nellie has informed us of your situation, and everything is fine. You’ll just need
to rest for a couple of days. Once everything has stabilized, we will discharge you, the doctor
reassured.
The doctor had received explicit instructions from Nellie, allowing him to grasp the implied message in
Cassandra’s words. Topletely reassure Cassandra, the doctor also signaled with his eyes.
Only then was Cassandra relieved.
Choosing to ignore Ondo, shey back down. She ced her hands gently on her abdomen while in
her heart, she silently echoed. Thank you, little one, for remaining with me, for not leaving nie. Thank
you for your strength. Don’t fret. I’ll shield you from any harm.
Cassandra’s night was full of turmoil, marked by intermittent sleep. She had not rested well, even as
dawn approached.
At eight o’clock in the morning, Ondo woke her, suggesting, “Eat something before you go back to
sleep. The doctor says you’re weak now and can’t skip meals, okay?”
Cassandra opened her eyes, her gaze cold and distant, avoiding his eyes.
Ondo continued. Last night…
“You don’t have to stay here watching over me. I n to rest after breakfast, so could you please
leave?” Cassandra cut him off, showing no interest in discussing the event from the previous night.
